Local Realtor Jackie Apigo, with RE/MAX Nacoochee Real Estate, has found a way to combine service to her clients and customers and service to the community all at the same time.

Apigo purchased a 14-foot moving truck, decked it out with graphics and will allow all of her clients and customers to use the truck for free when they move.

"Buy or sell with me and use this truck for free," says Apigo.

The truck also will be made available to local charities, schools, churches and other community organizations free.

As past president of the Cornelia Kiwanis Club, Apigo is looking forward to having it available for next December's Toys for Tots toy drive.

Four advertisers - Traditions Bank, the law office of Caudell and Hotard, Absolute Signs and Dr. Waggoner, Chiropractor - currently sponsor the truck and help make it available for free use to the community.

When asked how she came up with the idea, Apigo laughs and says, "I wanted unique advertising and needed a tax deduction! This was a good choice."

You may reach Jackie Apigo at (706) 499-4634 or (706) 776-1900, ext. 25 to get specific details about reserving the truck for your community event or if you would like to become a community sponsor.

Some restrictions apply so please call for details.
